Bollywood's Ex-Lovers Turned Friends

Flames to dust, lovers to friends. Why do all good things come to an end?" sang Nelly Furtado.
These lines hold true for a lot of Bollywood folks since their transition from passionate lovers to 'just good friends' happens in the shortest possible time post break-up. Here are some such Bollywood stars who went on to become friends after their break-up.
Deepika Padukone- Ranbir Kapoor

 
Deepika and Ranbir didn't exactly have quite an amicable break-up. It was Ranbir's alleged infidelity that prompted the leggy lass to dump him. A few digs later, Deepika apparently got over her heartbreak and is, today, in a comfortable space with the Kapoor heir. The two have signed an Ayan Mukherji film and, resultantly, Deepika even attended Ranbir's birthday party, as a 'friend', of course.
 
Salman Khan- Katrina Kaif
 
A perfect love-story suddenly went kaput when Salman and Katrina Kaif called it quits on their relationship. The hushed reason was said to be young gun Ranbir Kapoor. Irrespective of the break-up, neither did Sallu stop taking care of his ex-mistress nor did Katrina stop respecting him as an actor, person and friend. The two are also shooting for an upcoming film, titled 'Ek Tha Tiger'.

Shahid Kapoor- Priyanka Chopra
Sasha and Piggy Chops never admitted the fact that they dated each other, forget breaking up! However it can hardly be denied that two have been in an 'on- again/ off-again' relationship mode. Despite talks of their link-up and break-up, the two remain fast friends and are seen hanging out together quite often.
 
Preity Zinta- Ness Wadia
Preity and Ness were like a match made in heaven when they were together. They were apparently the happiest couple in B-town but they too fell prey to the downside of relationships. Preity and Ness decided to go their own separate ways but made sure that they didn't lose the great friendship that they once shared.

Bipasha Basu- Dino Morea
 
Bipasha Basu and Dino Morea were the it-couple during their modelling days. After acting in several forgettable movies, the couple decided to split. Bipasha soon moved on to John Abraham (now her ex) and Dino, well, to a number of gorgeous ladies. After they broke up, the two never showed any bitterness towards each other and were always warm and affable whenever they met.

Akshay Kumar- Shilpa Shetty
Akshay Kumar and Shilpa Shetty had a very very nasty break-up owing to which Shilpa was left nursing her heartbreak. It took years for Shilpa to completely recover from the break-up and Akki's infidelity which was why she totally ignored anything to do with him. It was only after she found peace within herself, post her 'Big Brother' win and marriage to Raj Kundra, that Shilpa got over the demons of her past. Today, she doesn't seem to be affected by Akshay's presence anymore and, reportedly, holds him in good regard.
